As I said earlier, try adjusting the clutch stop to bring the gearbox shafts to a complete dead stop (hard) when the pedal is fully depressed (late). The clutch stop is there to do this.

Another thought. If you have ever driven a Bugatti, they have a semi-centrifugal clutch for a fast take-off. If you press the pedal down at tickover it does not need much force to disengage, but as you rev the engine up it needs much more pressure on the pedal. I found this with my friend's Brescia Bugatti going up the test-hill at Brooklands. It was quite useful for a racing start.

I believe your 2LSC is a very famous car with a racing history from new. Perhaps the clutch was modified to have the same effect.
